Gordon Lightfoot - All The Lovely Ladies

CAPO: 4th Fret

[INTRO:] G D C G F C D G

[VERSE 1:]
F C G
All the lovely ladies in their finery tonight
F G
I wish that I could know them one by one
F C G
All the handsome gentlemen with loving on their minds
F G
Strolling in to take the ladies home

[CHORUS:]
C F
Bless you all and keep you on the road to tenderness
Bb G
Heaven can be yours, just for now

[VERSE 2:]
F G
All the gentle strangers who by nature do not smile
F G
To everyone who cannot hold a pen
F G
To all you heavy rounders with a headache for your pains
F G
Who dread the thought of going 'round the bend

[CHORUS:]
C F
Bless you all and keep you on the road to better things
Bb G
Heaven can be yours, just for now

[VERSE 3:]
F C G
To all the lovely ladies in their finery tonight
F G
I wish that I could kiss you while you knit
F C G
To all the ones who learn to live with being second-guessed
F G
Whose job it is to give more then to get

[CHORUS:]
C F
Bless you all and keep you with the strength to understand
Bb G
Heaven can be yours, just for now

[INSTRUMENTAL:] D C G F C D G

[VERSE 4:]
F G
To all the little dreamers with a dream that cannot last
F G
To all the sleeping giants who must wake
F G
To every man who answers to the letter of the law
F G
And all the rest imprisoned by mistake

[CHORUS:]
C F
Bless you all and keep you with the faith to let it pass
Bb G
Heaven can be yours, just for now

[VERSE 5:]
F G
To all the lonely sailors who have trouble being seen
F G
To all of you with heartache that remains
F G
Maybe sometime later you might swim back into shore
F G
If someone could relieve you of your chains

[CHORUS:]
C F
Bless you all and keep you on the land or on the sea
Bb G
Heaven can be yours, just for now
